In English: I received the Panache Sophie to review and I was very excited to try it! You see, I'm one of those people who need to take their clothes off the second they get home. Sometimes I hang around with just a top and panties and a cashmir cardigan, other times I want to wear sweat pants and wool socks. I need to be comfy, and wired bras just feel too sturdy for lounging around.

I've been searching for pretty wireless options for ages and I have been spesifically eyeing on the Sophie since it's a divine bra. It doesn't look like it's made for lounging or for moms to be, it looks like a very pretty bra that just doesn't happen to have wires. Just the way I like it! When I opened the box, I was thrilled to see my expetations were delivered. The materials looked and felt luxurious and soft. When I put the bra on, it looked amazing. I felt it pushed my breasts together a bit, but in a good way. They were upfront and round instead of being pointy and in my armpits, which tends to happen often in wireless bras. Also, the support and uplift are great concidering the bra doesn't have wires! Unfortunately I had a big problem with the straps: they are quite thin and dig into my shoulders. I have a hunch that it has something to do with the combination of heavy breasts and wireless design; when there are no wires to hold the bra up and distribute the weight more to the band, a lot of the weight is carried by the shoulders. That's why I believe that in a wireless bra in my size, there should be very wide and sturdy straps. However, you have to remember that I'm at the biggest end of the size range. I do believe that if you are in the middle or small end of the size range, you wouldn't have this problem since your breasts weigh less. That's why I definitely recommend this bra to anyone who has smaller breast volume than me. You can purchase the bra from many places, and Annella Lingerie for example has a nursing bra option of the Sophie, as well.The sizing was generous in the band. Or, I would say it would be standard in Elomi, but I've always found Panache to run quite tight in the band. This was a bit looser (or actually, the band was stretchier) than Panache would normally be. The cups run a bit small like in so many wireless bras, so I recommend sizing 1-2 cups from your wired bra size. I had my bra in 40J, and the cups seemed good. I usually wear around 40H/HH.All the opinions on my blog are my own. Even if I received a bra
for free, I would never accept the company telling me what to write on
my blog. When I review an item I received for free, I review it exactly
the same way I would if I paid the full price.
